Chapter 799 That's right...
According to what Lin Yi imagined before, it is completely different from what he sees now, and it can be said that it is irrelevant.
In his imagination, this city gate must be a bustling street.
This is also often played out in those TV shows.
After entering the city wall, there are all kinds of shops along the road, and there are countless stalls on the side of the road selling there. This is the ancient life in his impression, the ancient city in his impression.
And Leng Yu, who was on the side, was also stunned for a moment after hearing his question. I don't know why Young Master Lin asked such a thing. Isn't this the case in this city?
It is normal for pedestrians to be in a hurry, but the imperial court has expressly stipulated that no one is allowed to stay here for no reason.
After all, this is the important place at the gate of the city. If people gather here, it will firstly affect the normal exit and entry of the city, and secondly, it will be prone to danger.
If there are really enemy spies infiltrating here to make trouble, then the first person to be affected is the defenders of the city wall.
At this time, it is difficult for the defenders to play a role. Once the gate is opened by the enemy, then the defenders on the city wall will lose any meaning.
It is for this reason. In any capital city, no one is allowed to stay in the position of the city gate.
Of course, if it's outside the city, no one cares about you.
As for why there are no stalls selling here along the way, the first is that no one is allowed to stay here, and the second is that there are designated areas for vendors to sell.
But after a little hesitation, Leng Yu figured out the cause and effect of the matter.
After all, Young Master Lin is an immortal and does not live in this society, so it is quite normal for him not to understand this place.
So Leng Yu began to explain to Lin Yi patiently.
Tell him that the court prohibits anyone from staying here without reason, and that there are also fixed areas for vendors to sell in the East Market and West Market.
After listening to this series of explanations, Lin Yi suddenly lined his forehead, and at the same time secretly said that all the historical knowledge he had learned had been fed to the dog.
This is very similar to the Tang Dynasty that he remembered in his mind.
Especially when he heard the East and West markets, he instantly thought of the East and West markets of the Tang Dynasty.
As for these two cities, there is also a poem that mentioned them, that is, the famous Mulan poem, in which there is a sentence: The east market buys horses, and the west market buys saddles.
From these two sentences, we can see the comprehensiveness of the items sold in the two cities.
At the same time, it can be seen that the things sold by the two worlds are different.
Things like horses are quite noble in today's society.
It's like a 21st century car dealership, but it's also the kind of high-end luxury car dealership.
And this luxury car 4S shop is located in the famous city.
As for the matching decoration store? Then it can only be opened in the West City, which is relatively low-end.
After thinking of this, Lin Yi also thoroughly understood the current situation and realized the reality.
So, he didn't make any stops, but let Leng Yu lead him towards the east and west cities.
As for why Leng Yu took him instead of him wearing Leng Yu?
Is this still worth thinking about? This guy Lin Yi is the first time in his life that he has entered this Youguoducheng.
It's not right, to be more precise, it is the first time in my life that I have entered an ancient capital. So, here, how unfamiliar it is.
Although Leng Yu came less often, he was someone who lived in ancient times, and he had been here before, so he still had some familiarity with this place based on his memory.
In this way, after about a quarter of an hour, the two finally came to the door of Dongshi.
Looking at the huge towering archway in front of him, Lin Yi couldn't help but let out a sigh. He had to say that the architectural level of this ancient man was really high.
As for this archway made of pure stone, it must gather countless skilled craftsmen and use countless practical methods.
After all, in today's society, there is no such thing as cement.
It is definitely not an easy task to build such a huge and magnificent stone archway without using reinforced concrete.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if this archway is moved to the 21st century, if those construction teams are not allowed to construct it.
It is possible to complete it without using reinforced concrete.
But without any lifting equipment, it is absolutely difficult to complete.
Just when Lin Yi looked at the huge stone archway in front of him and sighed, Leng Yu's voice sounded at the same time.
"This capital city is called the capital city in the east, and the west city is called the Liren. Here, it is also the most prosperous place in the entire city.
Today, the East City where we are located is connected to Daozhengfang and Changlefang in the east, Pingkangfang and Xuanyangfang in the west, Anyifang in the south, and Yishengyefang and Dayou Palace in the north.
The west city is adjacent to Yanshoufang and Gongdefang in the east Xitong Qunxianfang and Huaidefang, Huaiyuanfang in the south, and Liquanfang in the north.
The east and west cities occupy an area of about two squares and belong to Wannian County and Chang'an County.
The East City is about 924 steps long from east to west and 1000 steps long from north to south.
The west city is 927 steps long from east to west, and 1031 steps long from north to south. In this royal city, it is already one of the largest markets. .
The two cities each have two horizontal streets and two vertical streets, forming nine "well"-shaped blocks.
Merchants enter the market in accordance with the rules of "nine markets open, goods are divided into different tunnels", and shops dealing with similar products are gathered in the same block.
There are two gates around each of the two cities to facilitate the entry and exit of people and logistics. "
I have to say that this Leng Yu really knows a lot about this place, and it's so eloquent that Lin Yi is stunned when he hears it.
While walking towards it, I listened to Leng Yu's introduction.
Lin Yi's eyes were also constantly looking around.
If I have to use one sentence to describe the two cities today, then Lin Yi can tell you clearly that it is a paradise for traders and a paradise for chopping parties.
Although it is said that there are no high-rise buildings and no traffic, but there is a very prosperous atmosphere here.
On this huge street, it was crowded with people of various colors, and on both sides were bustling shops.
At the door of the shop, along the street, all kinds of small stalls are placed there.
It was only at this moment that Lin Yi completely felt a familiar smell.
This is like the ancient capital he imagined!
However, just as he looked around at this lively scene and sighed in his heart, suddenly...
